    Excellent Tower of London site! Cruise on the Thames a little short (we'd have liked to get closer to London Bridge and Parliament)! Time- and data-saving tip: download the audio guide before the cruise 🚢

    I'm very appreciative of both these tours. I so wanted to see them. However, after 3 flight delays I knew I'd miss them. But the hotel suggested for me to just go ahead. They gave no fuss about letting me in at a different time slot. Now I wouldn't expect that on most tours but these were 2 that could be flexible. These were definitely 2 highlights of my trip.

    Very well organised, smooth experience on the Eye and wonderful views of the sights of London. Not so good with the river cruise as we only had a 20 minute cruise! We saw some great sites, but only went from the Eye around to the Tower and then had to disembark or pay to go to Greenwich. We felt that we didn't have the time that we were paying for. This spoiled a 70th birthday treat slightly.

    The river cruise was the best part. The crew on the boat were fantastic.

    Getting started

    Begin your experience at Tate Britain by presenting your ticket at the entrance. No special check-in is required beyond standard security. Once inside, make your way to the Ed Atkins exhibition, where you’re free to explore at your own pace. The Thames River cruise can be taken before or after your gallery visit, allowing full flexibility.

    What to expect

    Ed Atkins Exhibition

    Step into the imaginative world of Ed Atkins, one of Britain’s most influential digital artists. This exhibition spans 15 years of his work, offering a mix of high-resolution video, soundscapes, and text that explores identity, emotion, and the human condition. Alongside his renowned computer-generated films, the exhibition includes lesser-known paintings and writings.

    Features:

    • Digital installations: Experience immersive video works like Hisser that use cutting-edge technology to evoke emotional intensity and existential themes.
    • Paintings & writings: Discover another side of Atkins through his expressive drawings and personal texts, often overshadowed by his digital pieces.

    Thames River Cruise

    Glide past London’s most iconic landmarks on a one-way cruise along the Thames. Offering panoramic views from the water, this is a relaxing way to experience the city’s historic skyline.

    Features:

    • Flexible boarding: Choose when and where to begin your cruise—before or after your gallery visit from Westminster, Tower, or London Eye Pier.
    • Landmark views: See the Tower of London, Houses of Parliament, and Shakespeare’s Globe from a unique waterside perspective.
